Mechanisms protect airborne green microalgae during long distance dispersal. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2020 AbstractViable microalgae occur in the air. Whether they can survive the stresses such as UV, desiccation and freezing temperatures at high altitudes during long distance dispersal is rarely studied. If yes, what mechanisms confer the tolerance?

Long‐distance seed dispersal in plant populations [PDF]
American Journal of Botany, 2000 Long‐distance seed dispersal influences many key aspects of the biology of plants, including spread of invasive species, metapopulation dynamics, and diversity and dynamics in plant communities. However, because long‐distance seed dispersal is inherently hard to measure, there are few data sets that characterize the tails of seed dispersal curves. This

Characteristics and drivers of high-altitude ladybird flight: insights from vertical-looking entomological radar. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Understanding the characteristics and drivers of dispersal is crucial for predicting population dynamics, particularly in range-shifting species. Studying long-distance dispersal in insects is challenging, but recent advances in entomological radar offer

Modelling the invasion dynamics of the African citrus psyllid: The role of human-mediated dispersal and urban and peri-urban citrus trees [PDF]
NeoBiota, 2023 The African citrus psyllid, Trioza erytreae (Del Guercio) (Hemiptera, Triozidae), is native to tropical Africa and invasive species in North America and Europe. The main host plants are citrus, displaying a preference for lemon trees.

Seed dispersal effectiveness in fragmented and defaunated landscapes
Ecosphere, 2023 Landscape fragmentation and defaunation have major impacts on plant dispersal and dynamics. However, whether the impact of such perturbations on seed dispersal and recruitment change in sign and strength across habitats and spatial scales, and whether ...

Cooperative breeding and long-distance dispersal: a test using vagrant records. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Cooperative breeding is generally associated with increased philopatry and sedentariness, presumably because short-distance dispersal facilitates the maintenance of kin groups.

Isolation by distance in populations with power-law dispersal
G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2023 Limited dispersal of individuals between generations results in isolation by distance, in which individuals further apart in space tend to be less related.

Long-Distance Pollen Dispersal in Urban Green Roof and Ground-Level Habitats
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Long-distance pollen dispersal is critical for gene flow in plant populations, yet pollen dispersal patterns in urban habitats such as green roofs have not been extensively studied.

Subterranean Life-Style Does Not Limit Long Distance Dispersal in African Mole-Rats
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Dispersal from the natal site to breeding sites is a crucial phase in the life history of animals and can have profound effects on the reproductive ecology and the structure of animal societies.
